Microsoft® Lync Server 2010 Unleashed

Processing Operational Data

OpsMgr manages Lync Server 2010 infrastructures through monitoring rules used for object discovery, Windows event log monitoring, performance data gathering, and application-specific synthetic transactions. Monitoring rules define how OpsMgr collects, handles, and responds to the information gathered. OpsMgr monitoring rules handle incoming event data and enable OpsMgr to react automatically, either to respond to a predetermined problem scenario, such as a failed hard drive, with predefined corrective and diagnostics actions (for example, trigger an alert, execute a command or script, and so on) to provide the operator with additional details based on what was happening at the time the condition occurred.
